The headlines from this year’s annual report might read…
18 organizations completed the Virtual Incubator Program (VIP)!
$103,000 distributed to nonprofits via the 2023 Pitch Competition & Accelerator!
83.3% of Greater Sum’s accelerator alumni are on a growth trajectory!
As I watched the report come together, I found myself most captivated by the quotes that accompany those headlines.
“I now have the confidence and know-how to make a more compelling case.”
“DCSI has been proud to partner with Greater Sum for the better part of a decade. The Greater Sum team does a tremendous job of nurturing and cultivating start-up nonprofits and they recognize that one of the keystones for their success is strong HR knowledge.”
“I loved being able to browse the various nonprofits. I read about their individual ideas and plans and chose to support the one that seemed to have the biggest impact on things I care about.”
I’m reminded that when Greater Sum’s logo was first sketched on a napkin, it was during a conversation that became a brainstorming session that become a reality, drawing on the quote that serves as our core vision for supporting early stage nonprofits:
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
This year’s report features participants, volunteers, donors, and staff working together to achieve more. I hope you enjoy reading it! What stands out to you?
